ABE ADVOCACY TOOL KIT

Successful advocacy requires a sustained effort, not simply one letter, phone call, or meeting. Face-to-face meetings are the most effective means to convey your message and can be the beginning of a long-term relationship with your legislator and their staffs. Many programs also extend invitations to an in-school legislative breakfast, open house or graduation ceremony or the opportunity to guest teach a class. This gives elected officials an opportunity to better understand your program and its role in the community.

MCAE is committed to providing materials and practical training to increase the effectiveness of your advocacy of adult basic education. Materials to help you can be found in this section.
